History
In the possession of the Shuttleworth family
of Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire from 1582,
Forcett Hall was originally an Elizabethan
house, modified in 1710 by William Benson
and after a fire in 1726 it was substantially
redesigned in 1740 in the Palladian style
by architect Daniel Garrett for Robert
Shuttleworth MP.
It passed to Robert’s son James, MP for
Preston and Lancashire and High Sheriff of
Yorkshire for 1760–61. James’ son Robert
inherited the property on his father’s death in
1773 but sold it in 1784.
The Hall was let to Lord Algernon Percy (First
Earl of Beverley) who remained in occupation
when Robert Shuttleworth sold the Forcett
Hall Estate to Frances Michell and her son,
Charles Michell. Forcett Hall passed by
descent until 1938 when it was bought by
Lieutenant Colonel Hardress Waller and has
remained within the same family’s ownership
ever since.
The Estate includes part of an Iron Age
oppidum, or fortified settlement, which
covered a large area around Forcett
and adjoining Stanwick and much of the
earthworks are still evident.
The quality of the structure is such that it is
Grade 1 Listed with numerous other Listed
structures within the grounds.

Forcett Hall
This fine Grade I Listed house is one of North Yorkshires most important country houses benefitting from a very secluded and enclosed position,
within stone Estate walls and overlooking the delightful parkland and lake whilst enjoying some far reaching views particularly to the south and west.
The Hall requires some restoration and updating but will create a stunning family residence of the very highest quality. The house is arranged over 4
floors, including a basement, with the ground and first floors currently providing the basis of the domestic accommodation.
The principal rooms all benefit from the fine position, are very well proportioned and appointed and retain a wealth of original architectural features.

Of particular note are the fireplaces and the decorative

There is a self-contained 3 bedroom first floor apartment

The Hall is approached via a the East Gateway,
comprising a fine archway with 4 Roman Doric columns
with a central pediment beneath 5 Urn finials and flanked
by a pair of Lodge houses and through wooded parkland
to the imposing north elevation of the Hall. There is a
further North Gateway, currently unused.

Gardens and Land
Forcett Hall sits in a mature parkland setting complimented by some
magnificent specimen trees including Oak, Beech, Lime and Cedar of
Lebanon and bisected, to the north, by driveways to the house and
stables.
Formal terraced gardens lie to the south of the house above a restored
haha separating the gardens from the more open parkland to the south.
The grounds are full of interest and include 119 acres, or thereabouts,
of pasture and meadow land known as Front Park and High Park
and divided by the 17 acre lake, together with some fascinating
architectural and archaeological features including Iron Age earth
works, The Mount, thought to have been created from spoil when the
lake was constructed, Grotto and an outstanding Ice House. In addition
there are significant blocks of mature woodland surrounding the Estate and in particular an important
block of timber on the southern boundary known as Scot Buts. The woodland amounts to 78 acres or
thereabouts. All standing timber is included in the sale.
Unusually for such a large area, there are no public rights of access, footpaths or bridleways affecting
any part of the Estate which is surrounded by a stone wall.
